There will be plenty of meltdowns on these forums regardless of the specifications that will be provided, but I really doubt that it will pivot around hardware specifications when Microsoft unveils, because Microsoft is going to pivot the discussion away from that point of contention. Sony might have learned something about designing a console from their failures last generation, but Microsoft had a lesson to learn as well.
Microsoft needed to learn something about having enough content to keep consumers loyal. They had some truly great games, but not nearly enough of them. Which allowed Sony to crawl back in by overproducing software some years, and after a certain point Microsoft couldn't leverage support for exclusives from third parties. Just like Sony. Microsoft went a long way too address that problem.
Over the past few years while Sony has been cutting back on studios. Microsoft has greedily expanded its own presence. As of today Microsoft has far more studios supporting its platform. Then Sony has supporting theirs, and as of yet we as a community haven't seen the fruits of those labors. Most likely due to Microsoft opting to hoard that development on to the other side of the generational divide.
When Microsoft unveils we aren't going to be talking about the hardware specs nearly as much as we are going to be talking about the number of first party games that Microsoft showcased, or all the software features that Microsoft is going to have baked in. It is going to come as quite a shock to a lot of people. Even though some of us have been pointing it out for quite some time. All the studios that Microsoft has built or bought.
